Dineer was very Nice and the rooms are nice.
The air conditioning was very loud and needs repair.
The riad is absolutely beautiful a peaceful oasis in the heart of Marrakech. The rooms are elegant and well maintained, and the atmosphere feels authentically Moroccan yet very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. A special thanks to Mrs. Hayat at the reception for her warm hospitality, professionalism, and kindness — she made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived.
The riad has authentic Moroccan design with a beautiful courtyard and architecture. It's located away from the busy tourist streets, which makes it quiet. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean, with good AC and water pressure.
While charming in style, the property felt darker than expected and has many stairs, which made it less comfortable for our group. It was also very quiet, almost as if we were the only guests. The restaurant service was disappointing - essentially a table set in the courtyard, with a long wait and no true restaurant atmosphere. For the price, I expected more comfort, liveliness and overall value.
Great room. Staff exceptionally welcoming. Good location
Very friendly and helpful staff, great food (both for breakfast and dinner), beautiful roof terrace, amazing Hamam and perfect location to explore Marrakesh on foot!
Very dark room, a lot of stairs to climb and overall very old and rickety furniture. Carpets in the room did not seem super clean. A bit expensive in our opinion. Not optimal when traveling with small children.
The place is a dream but the staff is the best I have ever seen! From Hayat to Noureldin, Hajeba, Kareema and everyone I couldn’t mention, they’re all awesome and I can’t wait to come back!
Amazing staff, the place is gorgeous. The terrace is great
I found weird that breakfast is not included and you need to pay in the property. The best piece of booking holidays online is not to pay attention to these things.
Location was excellent, breakfast on the beautiful well kept roof terrace great

First of all the staff… absolutely brilliant, couldn’t do enough for us… special mention to hayat and hajiba who were outstanding. The location is very good for the palaces and a short walk from the main square. Only down side ( and it’s small beer TBH)… the rooms are very dark and there is no kettle in the room, so you have to ask for tea ( and pay for it) on a morning.
This world-wide and weary traveler landed at 6am in the morning and went directly to Dar Les Cigognes to drop off luggage with the intention of strolling around Marrakesh until check-in time. Everything you read about this Dar is true: charming, well-located, clean, VERY service oriented with its own restaurant and hammam/spa services and the terrace is magnificent. But then...I inadvertently dozed off in their serene little courtyard in a cozy cushioned corner. When I woke up there was a pot of mint tea, a tray of cookies, and the staff had covered me with a blanket while I was sleeping. Morrocans are known for their gracious hospitality and Dar Les Cigognes is an outstanding example of customer kindness and care.
Dar Les Cigognes was an amazing stay. The staff treated us like family. It really felt like we were staying with relatives and loved ones. The Riad was so beautiful and cozy. The services offered for massage and dining were better than anything we did outside of the Riad. It is close to a lot of the sights around the old medina in Marrakesh. There was a ton of markets around within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this stay.
I rented a car and because the stay is in the old medina I opted for storing the car and taking taxis when needed. The traffic is overwhelming for those not accustomed to it.
We had a lovely stay!the room was spacious and spotless and staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and all of them went out of their way to make us feel at home . To name few Hayat( manager),Haseeba, Azeez and Abdu. First time we were staying in a riyad house and it was one of the greatest experience for us.We had a very warm welcome and staff managed to cook an amazing dinner even though we ordered it a bit late. Staff helped with stay and were available whenever we needed them for eg collecting food deliveries and speaking to delivery drivers when we were struggling with the language. They were happy to give instructions on daily trips and were very polite and was happy to repeat them if we didn’t understand anything. We also got fireplace done daily as place was cold at night at that time . It just felt like home as staff never made you feel like you are in a hotel. Roof top restaurant was nice with good seating and indoor plants and it was nice to sip some tea and relax in the evening . Hammam was available at request and it was a nice experience We really felt bad after 6 days of stay as staff has become so friendly and we had a great farewell with everyone coming and greeting us out of the way and it felt great !I would love to write much more but rest be assured you will never regret if you are staying here in your Moroccan trip. Also very near to airport and it was in the middle of medina and many tourist sites
The only downside was there was no kettle in the room . But we always got hot drinks whenever we needed from the kitchen . Owner , a lovely lady from UK spoke to us and she mentioned that she will sort that issue with the kettle for future visits and they had it already available if needed .
Manager and staff were very friendly. Book a better room than the standard if you can , as these have seating areas. Our room was smaller, .which meant sitting on the bed when in during the day. Mind you the terrace was brilliant , colourful with birds and bees flying around made it a wuiet haven in the city.Loved our stay . Internet didn't work inside our room, but did outside the door and all common areas.
The very busy street outside at certain times of day was manic on occasions.
Staff were wonderful- felt like we were coming home every night - attentive but not in your face - just great - bedroom was perfect - loved the Riad concept - and we had a Mamam while we were there -it was amazing.
Internet Wifi needs some help - it was slow in our room and dropped out a lot.
It was very typically Moorish ... tiles, woodwork,roof terrace, central atrium with ornamental pool
Wi-fi in the bedroom was intermittent. There were no rails on one short staircase but that is to be rectified
The staff is great and you feel like being at home (like real Riad). The style including colours, flowers, trees etc, are great.
Many stairs going up and down! A bit cold although we tried to maximise the heating.
This was my second time at this property. Very sadly it is not to be trusted as some of my belongings were stolen by housekeeping while out for dinner and senior management dismissed our claim, threatened us and harassed us.
The lack of trust and safety.
